Which story was Moses in?

Moses was in the Book of the Exodus, which describes the life of Moses. Moses was sent down the Nile River by his mother to save him from his death. The Pharaoh's wife finds Moses and takes him as a sign from the gods. Moses grows up as a prince of Egypt with Ramses II. Soon, Moses finds his sister, also finding out that he is not an Egyptian, but a Hebrew. He runs away from Egypt after killing an Egyptian while trying to protect a Hebrew slave. He lives in the desert for many years living with a tribe of Hebrews. One day, Moses finds the burning bush and received a message from God. He says that Moses must go back to Egypt to free his people. So Moses did as told, but the pharaoh, Ramses II, did not free the Hebrews. God got angry, and sent 10 plagues down on Egypt consisting of insects and gross bugs. On the last plague, Ramses's son died. Ramses agreed to have Moses's people go. when they made it to the Red Sea, Ramses decided to take back the decision and send his troops out to retrieve the Hebrews, but God let the Hebrews go through the Red Sea without harm and flushed all of Ramses's troops. Moses finds Canaan with all of the other Hebrews and lives a good life.


Did Ramses the Second set the Jews free?

AnswerIf indeed Ramses II, pharaoh from about 1290 to 1234 BCE, set the Israelites free as described in the Bible, then he was not the pharaoh who pursued them and was drowned in the Red Sea, since he died peacefully in Egypt and his body was buried in the Valley of the Kings. In fact, over 90 per cent of scholars are reported to say that there was no Exodus from Egypt, as described in the Bible.


How did Moses and Abraham shape the history of the Hebrew people?

Answer 1Abraham shaped the Hebrew history by being told by God himself, or believed that He did tell him, to leave his own home, and settle into Canaan where his descendants-the Hebrews-- finally settled also, but later, some of the Hebrews moved to Egypt, (they moved to other parts of the world later). However, with the growth of the Hebrews, the pharaoh of Egypt, was worried the Hebrews soon might take over, and to stop that from happening, he made the Hebrews slaves. A man named Moses appeared among the Hebrews in Egypt. God told Moses to lead the Hebrews out of Egypt. Moses then went to the pharaoh and demanded that the Hebrews should be free. The pharaoh refused. Soon afterward a series of plagues (disasters) struck Egypt and the pharaoh then agreed to let the Hebrews free.Christian answer:They both spread the word about God and Jesus.Jewish answer:Abraham founded Judaism.Moses brought the Israelites out of Egypt and received the Torah from God.


Why was bread so important to Hebrews?

It goes back to when the Hebrews were enslaved in Egypt. Moses was trying to convince the pharaoh to free them and the pharaoh kept refusing. Moses then unleashed ten plagues on Egypt. After the tenth plague, the pharaoh relented and said the Hebrews were free. While packing, they did not have time to bake bread, as they were afraid the pharaoh would change his mind. This unleavened bread is now called matzah, and is eaten on Passover, the holiday celebrating the liberation of the Jews from Egypt.
